To prepare her role in the French film adaptation of Posy Simmonds’ graphic novels “Gemma Bovery“, Gemma Arterton had a French immersion at Dialogue-France in Kerfiac, Brittany, France.

    Her testimonial:

“Ready to take on the French world”

“I have just completed my ten day course (super-intensive!).
I have enjoyed every minute of it.
Coming with only a handful of words and phrases, I definitely feel I am much better equipped now.
I feel I have broken through the first (and most challenging door) of learning French.
Armed with my two Phrases-clés CD’s, I am ready to take on the world!

“Totally refreshing approach”

“I found Bernard’s approach to teaching totally refreshing.
He works organically, allowing for an abundance of conversation (my prerogative) and focussing on giving me phrases that I can really utilise in my own life.
His patience is astounding (!!!) and never wains.
He obviously enjoys what he does and this really rubbed off on me.
We had lots of fun and laughs during the week.
I feel like this is just the beginning of our teaching relationship: Bernard has assured me that I can call him any time with questions, or even just for a chat (in French, of course).”

“Family warmth and generosity”

As for my stay at chez Henusse – well! I was absolutely charmed the moment I stepped into their gorgeous country cottage.
I felt at home immediately and was warmly welcomed by the beautiful Veronique and their talented son Theo.
The Immersion Course was made so memorable by the warmth and generosity I felt from this wonderful family.

“And the home-made food… Mon Dieu.”

Gemma Arterton has said that she will “always be sad” about missing out on playing Mary Poppins at the Olympics.

The Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters star was approached to play the iconic magical character during Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony, but was unable to work it into her schedule. Ultimately, Boyle chose to use several actors to play Mary Poppins.

Arterton told Digital Spy that she has “always wanted to be” the English nanny after growing up with the Disney movie.

Gemma Arterton has revealed that she cracked her co-star Famke Janssen’s ribs while working on their new movie Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Arterton told Digital Spy that she inflicted more injuries than she picked up while working on the fantasy action movie.

“I cracked Famke’s ribs in a fight [scene] we did,” Arterton said. “She didn’t tell me at the time, she was very good about it. Afterwards she said, ‘You broke my rib!’ Things like that happen.”

The British actress added that she often found herself “bruised and battered” after filming, and relied on Arnica to get her through the film.

“I remember just overdosing on it,” she joked. “Even if you’re just doing a punch, your neck can get thrown out. It was sort of a gauge of how hard you worked that day if you couldn’t move the next day!”

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters stars Arterton and Jeremy Renner as adult versions of the classic fairytale characters who become bounty hunters.

The movie is showing now in the US, and opens in UK cinemas on Wednesday (February 27).

Gemma Arterton has voiced her admiration for the latest James Bond movie Skyfall.

The Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters star – who played MI6 agent Fields in Quantum of Solace – told Digital Spy that she thought the film was “brilliant”, praising the series’ “wonderful” star Daniel Craig.

“I thought Skyfall was brilliant, actually,” she said. “I’m so pleased for all the Bond people for how successful it is.

“I saw them when they won the BAFTA for ‘Best British Film’. It’s like the Bond family. Once you’ve done one you’re still in the family. I’m always thrilled for them, and Daniel as well because he’s so wonderful.”

Arterton and GoldenEye‘s Famke Janssen face off in fantasy horror Hansel & Gretel, but the British actress confessed that the pair didn’t share stories about working on the long-running spy series.

Skyfall picked up two Academy Awards – ‘Best Original Song’ and ‘Best Sound Editing’ – at the Oscars yesterday (February 24).

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters opens in UK cinemas on February 27.

With her latest turn in Song For Marion, Gemma Arteton has a chance to show off her great comedic timing.

In an exclusive clip for Mail Online the British actress can be seen teaching a trio of pensioners how to be truly authentic rock stars.

Unfortunately, the well mannered gentlemen are a long way from being the next Alice Cooper or Ozzy Osbourne.

As Gemma tries to unleash their inner rock god the men are finally tempted into having a go at being bad by the promise of receiving a plethora of female groupies.

He says to them: ‘These guys are proper ugly but they get laid daily. They have groupies, you’re gonna have sex again.’

Song for Marion is a music-based British comedy written and directed by Paul Andrew Williams. The film stars Terence Stamp, Gemma Arterton, Christopher Eccleston and Vanessa Redgrave.

Stamp is having a troubled relationship with his divorced son (Christopher Eccleston), who feels his less than effusive father has always found him a disappointment.

Will they be reunited by the death of Marion?
